Introduction 


THE  first  edition  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book,  or  New 
England  version  of  the  Psalms,  printed  by  Stephen 
Daye  at  Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  in  1640,  has 
the  distinction  of  being  the  first  book  printed  in  English 
America. 

When   the   Pilgrims   landed  at  Plymouth  in    1620,  and 
founded  the  first   permanent  colony  in  New  England,  they 
J  brought    with    them    Henry    Ainsworth's    version    of   the 
V  Psalms  in  prose  and  metre,  with  the  printed  tunes. ^     This 
"^  version   was  used  in  the  church  at   Plymouth  until    1692. 
\  Elsewhere,  the  Puritan  colonists  of  the  Massachusetts  Bay, 
coming  over  in  1629   and  1630,  sang  the  words  and  tunes 
of  Sternhold  and   Hopkins's  Psalms,  which  for  many  years 
had  been  published  with  the  ordinary  editions  of  the  Eng- 
lish Biblc.^ 

1  The  first  edition  of  Ainsworth's  version  has  the  following  title  :  — 
The  Book  of  Psalma  :  Englished  both  in  prose  an  J  metre.  IVith  anno- 
tations, opening  the  n-uords  and  sentences,  by  conference  <ivith  other  scrip- 
tures. By  H.  A.  [With  the  music]  Amsterdam:  Giles  Thorp,  \(i\z. 
348  pp.  40.  (British  Museum.)  Reprinted  in  metre  in  1618  (Lenox), 
in  metre  in  1642  (Prince  collection  in  Boston  Public  Library),  in  prose 
and  metre  in  1644  (British  Museum,  Lenox),  in  metre  in  1644  (Trinity 
College  at  Cambridge),  and  probably  later. 

'  The  Geneva  Bible  oi  1569  was  probably  the  first  to  have  this 
version  bound  with  it.  The  usual  title  is: — The  IVhole  Rooke  of 
Psalmes :  collected  into  English  mceter  by  T.  Sternhold,  J.  Hopkins,  and 
others  .  .  .  nuith  apt  notes  to  sing  them  nuithall.  More  than  two 
hundred  cditif)ns  between  the  years  1569  and  1640  arc  described  in 
the  British  Museum  Catalogue,  and  it  was  printed  and  ajipcars  to  have 
been  in  use  as  late  as  1841.

Introduction 

The  translation  by  Sternhold  and  Hopkins,  however, 
was  not  acceptable  to  many  of  the  nonconformists.  Some 
of  the  extremists  in  England  even  called  it  "  Hopkins  his 
Jiggcs"  and  "  Genevah  Jiggs."  Cotton  Mather  in  his 
Alagnalia  sets  forth  the  opinion  held  of  it  by  the  Puritans 
of  the  Bay  Colony  in  the  following  words  :  —  "  Tho'  they 
blessed  God  for  the  Religious  Endeavours  of  them  who 
translated  the  Psalms  into  the  Meetre  usually  annex'd  at 
the  End  of  the  Bible,  yet  they  beheld  in  the  Translation 
so  many  Detractions  from,  Additions  to,  and  Variations  of, 
not  only  the  Text,  but  the  very  Sense  of  the  Psalmist,  that 
it  was  an  Offence  unto  them." 

The  desire  for  a  translation  which  would  express  more 
exactly  the  meaning  of  the  original  Hebrew  led  to  the 
undertaking  of  a  new  version,  not  long  after  the  year  1636^ 
in  which  "  the  chief  Divines  in  the  Country,  took  each  of 
them  a  Portion  to  be  Translated."  Just  what  portions 
were  done  by  each  one  of  the  "  thirty  pious  and  learned 
Ministers"  then  in  New  England,  or  how  many  others 
aided  in  the  work,  we  have  no  means  to  determine.  It  is 
related  by  John  Josselyn,^  that  when  he  visited  Boston  on 
July  iith,  1638,  he  delivered  to  Mr.  Cotton  the  Teacher 
of  Boston  church,  "  from  Mr.  Francis  Quarles  the  poet, 
the  Translation  of  the  16,  25,  51,  88,  113,  and  137. 
Psalms  into  English  Meeter,  for  his  approbation."  It  is 
possible  that  some  of  these,  contributions  of  Mr.  Quarles 
were  incorporated  in  the  new  version. 

The  principal  part  of  the  work,  we  are  told,  was  com- 
mitted to  Mr.  Richard  Mather,  minister  of  the  church  in 
Dorchester,  who  probably  wrote  the  preface  also,^  and  to 
xVIr.  Thomas  Welde  and  Mr.  John  Eliot,  associate  minis- 
ters of  the  church  in  Roxbury.  "  These,  like  the  rest," 
says  Cotton  Mather,  "were  of  so   different  a  Genius  for 

^  Account  of  Thjuo  Voyages  to  Nenv  England  (London,  1674), 
pp.    19,   20. 

"^  A  rough  manuscript  draft  of  the  preface,  in  Richard  Mather's 
handwriting,  is  among  the  Prince  MSS.  in  the  Boston  Public  Library.

Introduction 

their  Poetry,  that  Mr.  Shepard  of  Cambridge,  on  the  Occa- 
sion addressed  them  to  this  Purpose. 

"  Tou  Roxb'ry  Poets,  keep  clear  of  the  Crime, 
Of  missing  to  give  us  very  good  Rhime. 
And  you  i?/"  Dorchester,  your  Verses  lengthen. 
But  with  the  Texts  own  Words,  you  will  them  strengthen.'''' 

It  is  unnecessary  to  repeat  here  the  criticisms  of  Professor 
Tvler  and  others  on  the  "  hopelessly  unpoetical  character" 
of  this  version.  Dr.  William  Everett  aptly  remarks  that 
the  fault  lay  largely  in  the  excess  of  reverence  for  the  sub- 
ject ;  and  he  calls  attention  to  the  fact  that  John  Milton 
attempted  to  turn  nine  of  the  Psalms  into  English  verse, 
adhering  as  closely  as  possible  to  the  original,  with  a  result 
as  harsh  and  dry  as  anything  in  the  Bay  Psalm  book.^ 

In  the  meantime  a  printing  press  had  been  brought  over 
to  Massachusetts,  while  the  new  Psalm  Book  was  prepar- 
ing. It  was  mainly  through  the  efforts  of  the  Rev.  Joseph 
or  Josse  Glover,  formerly  rector  of  Sutton,  in  Surrey,  that 
this  was  accomplished.  He  raised  funds  in  England  and 
in  Holland,  contributed  largely  himself,  procured  the  press, 
tvpes,  and  paper,  and  engaged  the  printer,  Stephen  Daye, 
under  contract  dated  June  7,  1638.  Sailing  with  their 
respective  families,  and  with  three  men  servants  to  help 
the  printer,  the  party  arrived  in  New  England,  probably  in 
September,  1638  ;  excepting,  however,  Mr.  Glover,  who 
"  fell  sick  of  a  feaver  and  dyed,"  either  on  the  voyage  or 
just  before  they  started. 

In  March,  1639,  according  to  Winthrop,  the  printing 
house  was  begun  at  Cambridge,  the  first  things  printed 
being  the  Freeman's  Oath.,  probably  on  a  single  sheet,  and 
an  Almanack  made  for  New  P^ngland  by  Mr.  William 
Pcircc,  mariner.  Neither  of  these  publications  is  known 
to  be  extant.

Introduction 

The  next  thing  printed  was  the  Psalmes  newly  turned 
into  metre,  which  was  finished  at  the  press  in  1640,  in  an 
edition  of  seventeen  hundred  copies.  It  thus  "  had  the 
Honour,"  according  to  Thomas  Prince,  "  of  being  the  F'nst 
Book  Printed  in  North  America." 

From  a  deposition  made  by  Stephen  Daye  in  1655,  in 
the  suit  brought  by  Glover's  heirs  against  Henry  Dunster, 
president  of  Harvard  College,  we  learn  that  the  cost  of 
printing  the  seventeen  hundred  copies  was  ^33,  that  one 
hundred  and  sixteen  reams  of  paper  were  used,  valued  at 
;^29,  that  the  book  was  sold  at  twenty  pence  per  copy, 
and  that  the  total  receipts  from  sales  were  estimated  at 
£i4ri  13J.  4rt^.,  leaving  a  profit  of  ^79  13^.  ^^d. 

The  new  Psalm  Book  was  adopted  at  once  by  nearly 
every  congregation  in  the  Colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay, 
and  for  that  reason  it  came  to  be  known  as  the  "  Bay  " 
Psalm  Book.  A  revised  and  enlarged  edition,  under  the 
title  of  The  Psalms  Hymns  and  Spiritual  Songs  of  the  Old  and 
New  Testament^  was  printed  at  Cambridge  in  165 1,  in  an 
edition  of  two  thousand  copies,  and  in  this  form  it  ran 
through  many  editions  in  New  England,  the  latest  being 
''The  Twenty-seventh  Edition,"  printed  at  Boston  in 
1762. 

The  churches  of  Salem  and  Ipswich  did  not  formally 
adopt  the  new  Psalm  Book  until  1667,  in  which  year  the 
Salem  church  decided  that  "  the  Bay  psalm  book  should  be 
made  use  of  together  with  Ainsworth's."  In  Plymouth 
Colony  the  use  of  Ainsworth  was  continued  as  before 
until  1692,  when  the  church  there  also  agreed  "to  sing 
the  psalms  now  used  in  our  neighbor  churches  in  the 
Bay." 

Even  in  England,  as  Thomas  Prince  remarks,  the  book 
was  "  by  some  eminent  Congregations  prefer'd  to  all 
Others  in  their  Publick  Worship."  Reprinted  there  first 
in  1647,  and  in  the  revised  form  in  1652,  it  ran  through 
more  than  twenty  English  editions,  the  latest  bearing  the 
date  of  1754.     In  Scotland,  too,  at  a  later  period,  the  book 

[  viii  ] 


Introduction 

was  used  in  the  Presbyterian  churches  to  some  extent,  half 
a  dozen  Scotch  editions  appearing  between  the  years  1732 
and  1759.  These  English  and  Scotch  editions  were  usually 
bound  with  Bibles  of  octavo  size,  and  in  that  form  many 
of  them  were  imported   for  use   in   New  England. 

After  being  used  for  upwards  of  a  century,  and  running 
through  more  than  fifty  editions,  the  Bay  Psalm  Book  gave 
way  to  the  newer  versions  of  Tate  and  Brady  and  of  Isaac 
Watts.  Among  others,  the  church  in  Dedham  voted  for 
the  change  in  1751  ;  the  New  North  Church  in  Boston,  in 
1755;  the  church  in  Ipswich,  before  1757;  the  First 
Church  in  Roxbury,  in  1758;  and  the  First  Church  in 
Boston,  in  1761.  In  1755,  the  Rev.  Thomas  Prince, 
minister  of  the  Old  South  Church  in  Boston,  began  a  new 
revision  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book,  which  was  finished  by 
him  and  adopted  by  his  congregation  in  1757,  the  book 
being  published  in  1758,  and  in  a  second  edition  in  1773. 
But  in  1786  the  Old  South  Church  followed  in  the  way  of 
the  others,  and  gave  up  Mr.  Prince's  Revision  for  Watts's 
Psalms  and  Hymns. 

Ten  copies  of  the  first  edition  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book 
are  known  to  be  extant.  Five  of  these  copies  were  at  one 
time  in  the  possession  of  Rev.  Thomas  Prince,  as  part  of 
his  "  New  England  Library,"  and  by  him  were  bequeathed 
in  1758,  with  his  other  books,  to  the  Old  South  Church  in 
Boston,  "  to  be  kept  and  remain  in  their  Public  Library  for 
ever."  After  remaining  in  the  steeple  chamber  of  the 
church  for  nearly  one  hundred  years, ^  three  of  these  Psalm 
Books,  between  the  years  1850  and  i860,  passed  into 
the  hands  of  Mr.  Edward  A.  Crowninshield  of  Boston, 
Nathaniel  B.  Shurtlcff,  M.D.,  of  Boston,  and  Mr.  George 
Livcrmorc  of  Cambridge.  Accordinir  to  a  memorandum

Introduction 

edge  of  which  I  am  indebted  to  Mr.  Edmund  M.  Barton, 
librarian  of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society  at  Worcester, 
the  volumes  were  transferred  to  these  gentlemen  by  the  late 
Lt.  Governor  Samuel  T.  Armstrong,  who  had  joint  cus- 
tody of  the  Prince  Library  as  one  of  the  deacons  of  the 
Old  South  Church.  "  He  surrendered  the  copies  to  these 
private  hands  in  consideration  of  certain  modern  books 
given  to  said  library,  and  of  the  modern  binding  bestowed 
on  one  or  more  of  the  copies  now  remaining  in  said 
Prince  Library."  The  record  of  the  ten  copies  is  as 
follows  :  — 

(i)  John  Carter  Brown  Library,  Providence,  R.  L 
Perfect,  but  with  a  small  portion  of  the  blank  margin  of 
the  title-page  and  the  lower  blank  margin  of  the  leaf 
of  errata  cut  out ;  in  the  original  old  calf  binding,  re- 
backed.  Size  of  leaf,  six  inches  and  seven-eighths  by 
four  inches  and  one-half.  It  was  first  owned  by  Richard 
Mather,  one  of  the  translators,  whose  autograph  signature 
is  in  several  places  on  the  fly  leaves  and  covers.  From 
the  Mather  family  it  passed  to  the  Rev.  Thomas  Prince, 
the  bookplate  of  whose  "  New  England  Library  "  is  pasted 
on  the  back  of  the  title.  By  Prince  it  was  bequeathed  to 
the  Old  South  Church,  in  his  will  dated  October  2,  1758, 
*' and  from  that  time  till  i860,  the  book  remained  in  the 
custody  of  the  deacons  and  pastors  of  that  church.  In 
that  year  it  was  given  by  the  church,  through  the  proper 
agents,  to  the  late  Nathaniel  Bradstreet  Shurtleff,  M.D." 
On  Dr.  Shurtleft's  death  his  library  was  offered  for  sale 
at  auction  by  Leonard  &  Co.,  Boston,  November  30  to 
December  2,  1875,  but  the  Psalm  Book  was  withdrawn 
because  the  deacons  of  the  Old  South  Church  obtained  an 
injunction  to  prevent  its  sale.  After  a  hearing  before  the 
Supreme  Judicial  Court  of  Massachusetts,  the  injunction  was 
dissolved  and  the  book  adjudged  to  belong  to  Dr.  Shurtleff's 
estate.  It  was  therefore  advertised  again,  in  a  four-page  cir- 
cular, to  be  sold  at  auction,  on  October  12,  1876,  by  Joseph 
Leonard;  and    it   was   sold    for  $1025,  to   Mr.  Sidney  S.

Thomas  Prince  in  1758  to  the  Old  South  Church,  from 
whose  collection  it  passed  by  exchange,  between  the  years 
1850  and  i860,  to  Mr.  Edward  A.  Crowninshield,  as 
related  above.  In  the  catalogue  of  Mr.  Crowninshield's 
library,  announced  to  be  sold  at  auction  by  Leonard  & 
Co.,  Boston,  in  November,  1859,  ^^^^  book  is  described 
as  "in  the  original  old  vellum  binding;."  The  whole 
library,  however,  was  withdrawn  and  sold  at  private  sale 
for  $10,000  to  Mr.  Henry  Stevens,  who  took  it  to  Lon- 
don, where  the  Psalm  Book  was  offered  to  the  British 
Museum  for  ;{^I50.  Its  purchase  not  being  approved, 
the  book  was  withdrawn  by  Mr.  Stevens,  and  after  being 
rebound  by  F.  Bedford  in  "dark  brown  crushed  levant 
morocco,"  was  sold  in  1868  to  Mr.  George  Brinlcy  of 
Hartford,  for  150  guineas.  At  the  Brinlcy  sale  in  March, 
1879,  it  was  bought  for  the  late  Mr.  Cornelius  Vander- 
bilt for  $1200.  The  statements  in  the  Memorial  History 
of  Boston^  vol.  I  (1880),  and  in  the  Catalogue  of  the  John 
Carter  Brown  Library,  part  2  (1882),  that  this  copy  was 
destroyed  in  a  warehouse  fire  in  New  York,  not  long  after 
its  purchase  by  Mr.  Vanderbilt,  are  both  incorrect.  Mrs. 
Vanderbilt  writes  that  the  book  now  belongs  to  her,  and 
that  it   has  never  been   injured   in  any  fire.      See    Catalogue

are  the  two  remaining  copies  of  the  five  originally  given  by 
Thomas  Prince  to  the  Old  South  Church  in  Boston.  In 
1866  they  were  deposited  with  the  rest  of  the  collection  in 
the  Boston  Public  Library.  They  are  described  in  the  printed 
catalogue  as  follows  :  "  There  are  in  the  Prince  library 
two  copies  of  this  rare  book,  one  of  which  (21,  15)  is  com- 
plete, with  the  exception  of  a  slight  mutilation  of  the '  Finis  ' 
leaf,  and  the  absence  of  the  following  leaf,  which  contains 
on  the  recto  a  list  of  '  Faults  escaped  in  printing.'  The 
other  (21.  14)  which  alone  has  the  book-plate  of  the  '  New

Slightly  imperfect,  the  upper  corner  of  leaf  G  being  to;n  off, 
talcing  away  portions  of  three  lines  on  both  sides  ;  in  modern 
binding.  Size  of  leaf,  seven  inches  and  one-sixteenth  by 
four  inches  and  three-quarters.  This  copy  turned  up  at 
the  sale  of  the  Fourth  and  concluding  portion  of  the  extensive 
and  valuable  collection  of  books^  formed  by  the  late  Mr.  William 
Pickerings  of  Piccadilly^  bookseller^  at  Sotheby  &  Wilkinson's 
auction  rooms,  London,  on  Jan.  12,  1855,  in  a  lot  which 
was  catalogued    as   follows  :  — 

43  2  Psalms.  The  Psalms  of  David,  1640  —  Another  copy, 
1639  — ^^^  Psalms  of  David,  translated  by  Bishop  King,  russia,

Notes,  1688  —  The  Psalms  of  David,  in  Meeter,  1693 
1 2mo.   8   vol. 

The  lot  was  bought  by  Mr.  Henry  Stevens  for  £2  i8x. 
On  examining  the  book,  Mr.  Stevens  discovered  that  twelve 
leaves  (sheets  W,  X,  and  Y)  were  lacking,  having  been  left 
out  by  the  original  binder.  These  twelve  leaves  were  finally 
obtained  from  Mr.  Livermore's  copy,  as  related  above,  and 
after  being  mended  and  re-margined,  they  were  inserted  in 
this  copy  ;  the  book  was  rebound  in  red  morocco  by  F.  Bed- 
ford, and  was  then  sold  by  Mr.  Stevens  to  Mr.  Lenox  for 
£'60.  See  Stevens,  Recollections  of  Mr.  James  Lenox  (  1 886), 
pp.  57-62,  where,  besides  the  error  in  stating  the  wrong  num- 
ber of  leaves  found  lacking  in  this  copy,  an  error  is  also  made 
in  referring  to  the  wrong  number  in  the  Pickering  sale 
catalogue  {"531  Psalmes.  Other  editions,  1630  to  1675,

Size  of  leaf,  seven  inches  (nearly)  by  four  inches  and  five- 
eighths.  Accompanying  the  book  is  a  manuscript  note  of 
which  the  following  is  an  extract :  **•  It  belonged  to  the

Sophia  S.  Simpson,  to  be  used  at  her  own  discretion,  by  her 
beloved  mother.  Sarah  Shuttleworth,  1844."  About  the 
year  1872  it  was  bought  by  the  late  T.  O.  H.  P.  Burnham, 
of  the  "Antique  Bookstore"  in  Boston,  not  knowing  at 
the  time  exactly  what  it  was.  Years  afterwards,  on  com- 
parison by  Mr.  R.  C.  Lichtenstein  with  the  1640  edition 
in  the  Public  Library,  it  was  found  to  be  a  genuine  copy 
of  that  edition.  In  August,  1892,  it  was  sold  to  the  late 
Bishop  John  F.  Hurst,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  and  in 
February,  1903,  shortly  before  his  death,  it  was  bought  by 
Messrs.  Dodd,  Mead  Si.  Co.,  from  whom  it  passed  to  the 
present  owner.

Bishop  Tanner  died  December  14,  1735  ;  and  by  his  will, 
dated  November  22,  1733,  he  bequeathed  his  manuscripts 
and  books  to  the  Bodleian.  "  Unfortunately,  when  Tanner 
was  removing  his  books  from  Norwich  to  Oxford,  in  De- 
cember, 1 73  I,  by  some  accident  in  their  transit  (which  was 
made  by  river)  they  fell  into  the  water,  and  were  submerged 
for  twenty  hours.  The  effects  of  this  soaking  arc  only 
too  evident  upon  very  many  of  them.  The  whole  of  the 
printed  b(joks  were  uniformly  bound  in  dark  green  calf, 
apparently  about  fifty  years  ago  ;  the  binder's  work  was 
well  done,  but  unhappily  all  the  fly-leaves,  many  of  which 
would  doubtless  have  afforded  something  of  interest,  with 
regard  to  the  books  and  their  former  possessors,  were  re- 
moved."—  Macray's  Annah  of  the  Bodleian  Lihary  (l^()^)y

Introduction 

In  October,  i860,  it  was  announced  in  the  Historical 
Magazine  that  C.  B.  Richardson  &  Co.  "  have  nearly  ready 
z  facsimile  reprint  "  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book,  limited  to  fifty 
copies  ;  and  in  the  November  number  it  was  stated  that  the 
whole  edition  had  been  taken  up  by  subscribers.  The  book 
appeared  fifteen  months  later,  with  title  as  below,  and  with 
a  preface  by  Dr.  Shurtleff,  dated  January,  1862,  in  which 
we  are  informed  that  all  the  peculiarities  of  the  original,  in- 
cluding broken  type,  inverted  letters,  and  other  errors,  had 
been  reproduced  exactly  by  the  modern  compositor : 

A  Literal  Reprint  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book  Being  the  Earliest 
New  England  Version  of  the  Psalms  and  the  First  Book 
Printed  in  America  (Fifty  Copies  for  Subscribers)  Cambridge 
Printed  [at  the  Riverside  Press]  for  Charles  B.  Richardson 
New  York  1862  vii  pp.,  psalms  (148)  leaves,  list  of  sub- 
scribers (2)  pp.       8°. 

Besides  the  fifty  copies  for  subscribers,  Mr.  Livermore 
had  fifteen  extra  copies  printed  on  thick  paper  for  pres- 
entation, besides  five  copies  on  India  paper,  and  one  copy 
on  vellum.  The  vellum  copy  was  retained  by  Mr.  Liver- 
more,  at  whose  sale  in  1894  it  brought  ^76. 

In  issuing  the  present  reproduction,  which  is  the  first 
one  ever  made  in  exact  facsimile,  the  publishers  have  used 
the  copy  belonging  to  Mr.  Church,  and  also  the  copy  in  the 
Lenox  Branch  of  the  New  York  Public  Library.  In  com- 
paring these  two  copies  of  the  original  edition  side  by  side,  it 
was  found  that  the  printed  matter  on  every  page  of  the 
Lenox  copy  measured  a  little  more  each  way  than  in  the 
Church  copy,  the  variation  being  nearly  one  eighth  of  an  inch. 
The  difference  in  size,  however,  was  not  typographical, 
but  was  caused  merely  by  the  shrinkage  of  the  paper,  which 
in  one  copy  had  been  more  exposed  to  the  air  than  in  the 
other,  and  was  not  so  smooth  and  flat.  The  peculiarity  re- 
ferred to  will  be  noticed  in  comparing  the  first  three  leaves 
of   the  preface,  reproduced    from  the  Lenox  copy  in  the

Introduction 

present  facsimile,  with  the  three  leaves  following,  repro- 
duced from  the  Church  copy.  In  each  case  the  facsimiles 
are  the  exact  size  of  the  originals.  It  is  an  interesting  fact 
to  know  that  shrinkage  of  paper  can  make  such  a  difference 
in  the  measurement  of  the  printed  page  in  different  copies 
of  the  same  book.

THe  finging  of  PfalraeSjthough  it  breath  forth

fuch  is  the  I'ubtilty  of  the  encmie,  and  the  enmity

our  hearts  can  finde  matter  of  difcord  in  this  har-

are  to  be  fung  in  churches?  whether  Davids  and  c-^ 
tber  fcripture  pfalmes,  or  the  pfalmes  invented  by 
the  gifts  of  godly  men  in  every  age  of  the  church. 
Secondly,  if  fcripture  pfalmes,  whether  in  their 
Owne  words,  or  in  fuch  meter  as  englifh  poetry  is

Touching  the  firll,  certainly  the  finging  of  Da-

although  wee  have  caule  to  blclTc  God  in  many 
rerpe(fts  for  the  religious  indeavours  of  the 
tranflaters  of  the  plalraes  into  mcetre  ufually  an- 
nexed to  our  Bibles ,  yet  it  is  not  unknowne  to 
the  godly  learned  that  they  have  rather  prelcnted 
a  paraphrafe  then  the  words  of  David  tranflat- 
ed  according  to  the  rule  2.chron,iq,  30.  and 
that  their  addition  to  the  words,  detradions  from 
the  words  are  not  fcldome  and  rare,  but  very  frc- 
quent  and  many  times  needles,  (which  we  fuo- 
pofe  would  not  be  approved  of  if  the  pfalmes 
were  (o  tran(l.ited  into  profe)  and  that  their 
variations  of  the  ki\k^  and  alterations  of  the 
iiicred  tcKt  too  frequently,  mayiuftly  rttinifter 
matter  of  offence  to  them  that  are  able  to  com  -

generally  defired,  that  as  wee  doc  inioye  other, 
Xot  (if  it  were  the  Lords  will)  wee  might  inioye 
this  ordinance  alfo  in  its  native  purity :  wee  have 
therefore  done  ourindeavour  to  make  aplaine

oi  David  into  cnglifh  metre,  and  have  not  (oQ 
much  as  prefumed  to  paraplirafe  to  give  the  fenfe
